Hasselblad made a bellows lens, the MAKRO-PLANAR CF F/5.6 135MM
Focuses from one inch to infinity. Which is a long distance away.
All you need a a bellows. Maybe get one from a retired chimney sweep or
organ grinder.
And they stopped making that gorgeous lens a long time ago. And they at the
time I was looking were hard to find. Which was frustrating as all the other
3 thousand dollar Hassy Zeiss glass was going for 5o bucks.
Much more useful than the regular boring 120 macro which I ended up getting.
Get a bellows. I bet they are babe magnets.
